Husband is on weekends this weekend ... Instead of a Harry Potter day (well maybe at the same time!) I will dig out all my yarn and sort :-)

Pixie, I bought some yarn from Vrap years ago and knitted Hitchhiker scarves with it, they were lovely!

Also, recently I sorted through my stash, commandeered a chest of drawers and whatever didn't fit in the chest went to a charity shop. It was wonderfully cathartic.

I'm looking at a little pile of Hitchhikers and Multnomahs and other flat things that I enjoyed knitting (often for KALs) but will never wear. I've given nearly all the acrylic ones to charity shops.

I'm still knitting squares for the patchwork blanket I'm making for work. Started off trying to be clever, doing different stitches for each patch but struggled to make them all the same size so now I'm sticking to simple moss stitch.

Wool warehouse are great, I ordered on the 15th, it was shipped on the 17th. I know they are saying it could be up to 7 days for dispatch, but they're running less than that, I think it's so your expectations aren't immediate.

Sunday night 8pm for a zoom chat? So long as my migraine is gone by then. I've planned it on zoom so I don't forget, but it can easily be moved if it doesn't suit. Thinking an evening so some who couldn't make the last one can make this one.

Wool warehouse has been receiving rude emails about delays to their service caused by the current situation - more orders, fewer staff, postal delays.
